I got my new bow last week and I didn't have a chance to take it to the shop yet. My brother comes over and says let me see your bow. I show it to him and he asks what is it set at? I said 72# so he Ok and before he pulls it back I tell him DON'T DRY FIRE IT!!!!! So he gets it back 3/4 of the way and the string slips out of his fingers and I hear PING!!! The string is off the bow so I'll need a new 1. My limbs aren't cracked or have splinters so my limbs look Ok. I'm not sure about my cams but they look Ok but I'm off to the shop tonight. My brother said he would pay for it!!!! Anything else I should do?

Most bows will survive a dry fire or two with uot any problems. The only thing that i was confused on is why the string came off?  ?? I have never heard of that happening in a dry fire. You might replace the bus cables to you might have broke a strand or two. I always replace both that way you know that they are good. |

the string came off of the cams is what I mean. Someone told me to check for cut strands but there appears to be none broken...  |

The bow should be fine just replace all strings and cables and shoot away. Some times you can break the sting strands under the sevring. some guys forget this so I would jusr replace them all!

Heard of a guy walking into a shop telling them that his bow is loud and the shop owner ask's to hear it and the guy pulls back and dry fires bow. shop owner looked at him and said man that is kinda loud do it again. so the guy does the shop owner then dry fires it himself a few times to see if they could blow it up then sends the idiot on down the road
